Impressive selection and friendly staff. So much Scotch I wanted to try, at reasonable prices demonstrating strong curation (Compass Box Flaming Heart, Cadenheads Enigma 25, McLean's Nose, Arndamurchan Migie, Ledaig Triple Wood, Clydeside, Wolfburn 10, various Signatories) and interesting world whisky (Kanosuke, Stauning, etc.). I needed a smaller bottle for traveling and there were only very basic options available here (Old Forester 375mls and junk booze miniatures). They could better serve downtown travelers in this regard but I'm not complaining because the security needed for half bottles was already pretty tight, so perhaps there's no great solution. If you have three people in your party, buying an interesting bottle here could be a more fun adventure for whisky lovers than most hotel bars.

Selection is extensive. Staff is always very friendly and helpful! They’re also dog friendly which is a huge plus since it’s convenient to stop by when walking the pup.

Purchased a bottle of Christian Drouin Cidre Pays d’Auge (apple cider) on 12/22/25 from this location and it was unfortunately undrinkable. Upon opening, it had an extremely off flavor and aroma, somewhere between wet dog and burnt hair, which strongly suggests the bottle was faulty or spoiled. This is a well-known producer, so this felt more like a storage or quality control issue than an issue with the cider style itself. Flagging this so staff can check the remaining stock.
